i was in DC this past weekend. i landed at Dulles airport friday afternoon. after de-planing, i was starving and looking for a micky D's or something. i ended up walking by a sparcely populated gate, where a kinda big dude walked by me. i did a double take. it was cam newton.

he walked over to an empty gate, seemingly away from everybody. however, i followed him. i walked up to him and asked,

"shouldn't you be in class?"

he didn't hear me as he took his ipod earphones out.

i then asked again, "shouldn't you be in class?"

he looked dumbfounded and said, "huh?"

i then asked a third time, "shouldn't you be in class?" I finally, told him that i recognized him and congratulated him on a successful season.

true story.

i almost wanted to say, "why should you start going to class now?". i was curious as to why he was in DC, though, but didn't ask.

Control of space means control of the world, far more certainly, far more totally than any control that has been achieved by weapons or troops of occupation. Space is the ultimate position, the position of total control over Earth.

I really wonder whether the NCAA is going to step up or dissolve into oblivion.... It doesn't seem like they can continue to exist as an enforcer that only gives recommendations and has no teeth. This summer should be interesting.
